Veterans in SoCo gather to recognize Memorial Day
(PUEBLO, Colo.) — Every year on the last Monday in May, flags fly at half-staff, and we gather to refresh our perspective and remember those who have served our country. From Colorado Springs to Pueblo and our nation's capital, people across America marked Memorial Day. For some, Memorial Day may mean a yearly barbeque, picnic or another day off. But what does it mean to those who have fought for our country? The ones who stormed the beaches in Normandy or climbed the mountains in Afghanistan? One veteran said it's to remember those who fought and are not here today. 'We're here to memorialize every single man, woman, and child that has been lost due to conflict,' said Travis Baker, the District Five Commander at the VFW in El Paso County. Thomas Medina from Pueblo remembered his time in the Marines on Memorial Day as he spoke to folks who gathered under the Veterans Bridge at the Pueblo Riverwalk. He remembered his father who also served in the Marines and went to Vietnam. 'My dad was very proud of his service, but he was also, it wounded him very deeply,' Medina said. But Medina also reflected on his own time serving, and the men and women he stood by during his time in active duty. 'I also remember the Marines that were killed in action, that served with me,' Medina said. Baker aims to not only make Memorial Day the one time where people reflect on those who lost their lives protecting our country. 'I've lost people on Christmas Day, I've lost people on Thanksgiving Day in Iraq and Afghanistan… It's not a holiday for me, every day is Remembrance Day,' Baker said. Ceremonies were held across Southern Colorado–in Teller County, veterans from the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars hosted a ceremony at Woodland Park Cemetery to honor the men and women who sacrificed their lives in service to our country.

Emma Stone asks $26.5M for her Austin mansion — whose years-long renovation is nearly complete
Emma Stone is moseying on out of Austin, Texas. The 'Poor Things' actress recently listed the $26.5 million Austin property she shares with her husband, comedy writer Dave McCary. The couple purchased the West Austin estate in 2021 with plans to move their family there, the Wall Street Journal reported. After years of renovations and restoration, however, the pair have decided to sell it instead. 10 McCary and Stone met on 'Saturday Night Live' in 2016 and married in 2020.

Travis Baker from Twist Tours The listing is represented by Eric Moreland and Diane Humphreys of Moreland Properties/Forbes Global Properties. The Georgian-style brick house in the desirable Terrytown neighborhood is located roughly 10 minutes from downtown Austin. The listing is currently among the most expensive in the city. The estate spans 10,000 square feet, encompassing a four-bedroom main house, a two-bedroom guesthouse and a garage. The latter features its own screening room and entertaining space, according to the listing. The property also boasts a pool, a hot tub and gardens. 10 The property spans 1.24 acres.

Listing photos show an empty home with fresh millwork on the walls, leaded-glass windows, creamy marble accents and herringbone floors. The couple spent three years renovating the 1940s-era home, Moreland told the Journal, including opening up the kitchen to the living room and installing extensive millwork in the screening room. The pair also removed, cleaned and reused all the home's exterior brick, according to the outlet. Contractors are still putting the final touches on the home, Moreland said. 10 Renovations included opening up the kitchen for a more modern layout.

Travis Baker from Twist Tours Stone and McCary launched their production company Fruit Tree in 2020, which has since produced award-winning films like 'Poor Things' and 'A Real Pain.' Moreland told the outlet that the couple's business interests have 'expanded' since they purchased the 1.24-acre property, and continuing to hold onto it 'doesn't make sense' for them right now. Stone's other recent real estate moves include the $4.42 million sale of her Malibu home in 2022, followed by the $4.3 million sale of her Los Angeles home last year. She made impressive profits in both cases, the Journal reported. Whether Stone and McCary will make a significant buck in parting with their Austin home is unclear, as real estate sales prices are not publicly available in Texas property records. The family still owns a reported $12 million apartment in Lower Manhattan.
